Archer should be arrested

[Paullyboy]

If it's only the result that counts why do you watch the game?


To answer your question: Tony Archer.

You have nothing to whinge about, you are lucky it got as close as it did and the officials played a big role in that.

It really doesn't matter whether the penalty was because Slater lost the ball or not - we all saw Fui Fui pull at his leg as he was getting up to play the ball. That is a penalty. If it was given for something else then it shows there is some justice in the game.

I feel sorry for Fui Fui because if there was one player who didn't deserve to give away a penalty at such a crucial time of the game it was him. He was awesome today.

I think we can all understand this:

23 years, and won f**k all

And we can understand this..who knocked the dogs out, who, who.:lol:

 

[natheel]

fact is

eels had a bad first half but only let in 10 points
storm better side at the end of the day
archer had a pretty poor reffing game let alot slide holding down in tackles, forward passes etc

i dont see the point for dragons and bulldogs fans giving sh*t to parra fans for the simple fact we made the gf and you didnt beat both sides in the finals etc

the only supporters that can rightfully give us sh*t is storm fans but u dont see them doing that do u?

bitter?? i think so doggies and dragons fans

Yeah, who cares. Why expect decent refs anyway.

It is so much easier that way.



BTW - no-one is claiming that the refs cost us the game. But why accept an inept display in the biggest game of the year? The fact that your team wasn't in it does not matter.

 

[maccattack]

You guys are off your tree. As if Parramatta were ever going to win. You got sucked in by the hype. Thinking they had a chance.

They lost to the better team. End of.

Because you're acting like sore losers and in the process taking the spotlight away from the Storms performance


Why not mention Ben Smith taking out GI 1 m from the try line in the first half

Moi Moi's foot coming very close to the sideline for his try but was never checked

But instead you want to focus on a 50/50 penalty 5 mins from fulltime
:crazy:

 

[Parra]

How many poor decisions do you like.

Despite your angst, why do many bad decisions make the game better?

Surely one is bad. The fact you can drag up several more make Archer's performance even worse?

[Delboy]

The real issue is that the very poor decision took an opportunity away, anyone that believes Archer is a god official is seriously delusional.

He makes too many mistakes, it is a shame that the system will defend him and we saw a great finish to a game taken away by an idiot.

Having watched it again on replay, I think Hadley got it right in the radio call when he identified Mortimer as the player who was running back to position and whose knee knocked the ball out of Slater's arms. Nothing to do with Moi Moi.

Which as I've tried repeatedly to explain simply isn't true. But just keep believing your preconceived notions. Some skulls are simply to thick to knock sense into.

Observations from Broncos supporter:

Melbourne wrestling techniques definitely slow subsequent play-the-ball speed; they did this to broncs last weekend. It did not get penalized the week before either which surpised me.

- Plenty of dubious passes from both teams;

- Plenty of around-the-neck wrestling/tackling from the Eels went without penalty in the second half.

- If it were Mortimer (and not GI) taken out, I'm sure a penalty would have resulted due to crowd reaction.

- Slater looked to have dropped ball; if it did come in contact with knee, that this was just sloppy on Slater's behalf. Tough penalty.

The crowd looked 95% eels supporters; If it were the other way round, scoreline may not have been as close.

Side thought...
J Hayne rarely seems to show any enthusiasm to run the ball back fast; he kind of dances around (I don't blame him - I wouldnt want to get smashed either). But still, I notice this often when he plays. Probably 30% of the time, I think he is bad for the eels - it's like he tries to conserve energy throughout most of the match, so that he can then burn opposition at later time.

 

[Chook Norris]

Oh well the Slater knock on/penalty more than makes up for the supposed high tackle on Inu. Now that was a joke of a call.

i thought it was a fair penalty.. the first shot clearly showed that he hit him on the chin, whilst the 2nd shot made the case more ambiguous

 

[Ulysseus]

Anytime you think Archer is bad just remember that it could have been Suttor or Cummins.

LOL, I shudder at that thought.
Those two merkins truly are sh*t.

f**king well said.

 

[Patsy]

parra had the momentum - terrible decision but i always suspected archer had a love affair with the storm

not saying parra win if penalty not given but they were given no chance with the wrong decision

 

[jimmythehand]

From a neutral point of view I think the Storm deserved a few good calls to go their way after what happened to them against the Broncos in '06.

Can't wait til the right people finally realise that we need a challenge system. I wonder how many years before common sense will prevail.
